Do you believe that advocates of the law would have ceased to advocate for it in the counterfactual case that there was no effect on expense? If you don't believe that, then you cannot believe that the spirit of the law was to make "no sesame" products more expensive.
I made no claims as to "[making] 'no sesame' products more expensive" being the spirit of the law. I claimed that the spirit could be the most straightforward reading of the law: “if your product claims to contain no sesame, this law ensures that is true, even in trace amounts”.
